As the only pict in the palace, Charlie stood at the very back of the group.
In fact, even so, he still felt that it was not enough. If he could, he would rather stand outside the palace, or even stand with his former comrades.
There was nothing he could do. As the only general who had surrendered, he was subjected to too many invisible restrictions.
No one knew how these barbarians who came out of nowhere would deal with him. In Charlie's opinion, his best fate should be to choose a suitable time to retire and live the rest of his life in seclusion.
Compared to becoming a captive or a slave, such a life was much better. It was enough to be called a luxury.
However, Charlie never expected that his future would be more luxurious than he had imagined.
It could even be described as a dream.
" Charlie, let me ask you. Are you willing to accept the position of Great General and assist me in managing your people so that you can open up a bright future for your people?”
The king on the stage stared at him. There seemed to be a faint glow flickering on his face.
Charlie thought he had misheard.
Great General? What was that?
Although Charlie could not understand the specific meaning of this position for the time being, just from the literal meaning, this position seemed to be quite high.
One had to know that in the past, he was only a commander of the 10 great legions of Pitt. Although he was indeed called the " 10 great generals " by the other Pitts, his status was only at the bottom. He could barely be called a mountain, but he was never the pillar of the kingdom.
Otherwise, King Pitt wouldn't have allowed him to guard Buken City.
However, now, the king of Pi Ke Te was gone, and Pi Ke Te's royal city had fallen, but he was promoted instead?
Such an ending was so dreamy that he could not understand it.
After all, for the Pikts, who did not even know what feudal times were, the winner would be king and the loser would be a thief.
However, in Li Wei's opinion, this was something that could not be more normal.
If one wanted to control a force, violent killing would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Not only would it not completely solve the problem, but it would also bury a hidden danger for an even greater disaster.
For such a situation, Li Wei, who came from the future, naturally knew a complete and mature operating system.
It was impossible to conquer the will of a nation by relying solely on killing and blood, but benefits could.
By supporting the spokesperson, the interests of both parties were bound together. When the interests of both parties were bound together, his spokesperson would naturally protect this interest, and Li Wei did not need to do it himself.
This was Uncle Sam's usual tactic, and Li Wei did not feel any pressure at all when he used it.
From a temporary perspective, such a method might cause Li Wei to lose a portion of his income. However, from a long-term perspective, it was worth it to exchange a little bit of profit for a long period of peace.
Of course, backing down didn't mean backing down blindly. Li Wei could take out a portion of his benefits as a subsidy to the Pikts, but he could not let the Pikts see this concession as a natural existence. Otherwise, they would take advantage of it and things would develop in a direction that Li Wei did not want to see!
Therefore, there needed to be a limit. Moreover, this limit should not be set by Li Wei alone.
Li Wei decided to make this " degree " into a formal written article, in the most formal form, to regulate the daily behavior of the Pikts, and even all Valhalla people, including the barbarians, so as to completely stabilize the order of the entire society.
Therefore, this " degree " had another name:
Laws!
……
Laws are the rules of the world.
In fact, even before the law was officially written, the concept of law had already appeared in people's minds and was repeatedly practiced in their daily lives.
At that time, it had another name, which was the customary rule.
It is the law for those who owe money to pay their debts, and for those who steal to pay their crimes. It was the law for the murderer to pay with his life, and it was also the law to offer the best things to the king.
The concept of law existed in every aspect of human life.
It was worth mentioning that the concept of law was not to maintain so-called fairness and justice, but to maintain social order.
After all, the law would always serve the ruling class, and the ruling class would always be most concerned about the stability and stability of society.
As for the so-called fairness and justice? Perhaps some laws would indeed play a positive role in related aspects, but to put it bluntly, it was just a by-product.
However, as mentioned before, this was not a big deal.
Society would always progress. As long as the basic order was stable, justice and fairness would naturally not be absent.
"Alright, Tina, Tina, Charlie, you three stay here for a while.”
The opening ceremony of the booty distribution meeting had ended. The next step was the real time for the barbarians to celebrate. As the king, Li Wei naturally would not participate in such a 'lively'.
Anyway, no matter how they split it, these things would always belong to him. Moreover, if they were placed in the hands of others, they would be able to display even more value.
"This is the glory that belongs to you, and the glory that you deserve. Go and enjoy the moment of victory that belongs to you!”
With a wave of his hand, Li Wei personally opened the curtains of the celebration.
As for these warriors? Although they could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts, at the last moment, they finally maintained the most basic rationality. They did not disperse like a mob.
Instead, they stood in front of Li Wei, waving their arms and cheering for their victory.
"Glory to the king, glory to the queen, glory to Valhalla!”
Guinevere, who was sitting in the main seat, was stunned when she heard this.
After spending so much time together, she could barely understand the language of these barbarians.
Looking at Guinevere's excited expression, Li Wei, who was beside her, revealed a very subtle smile.
There was no doubt that he had arranged this in advance.
The joy of victory should be shared with others.
However, it was a pity that the person whom Li Wei wanted to share the most was not here.
Lily, did you see that? The me that you abandoned is already standing at the top of the Scottish Empire and has become the king of the Scottish Empire!
And where are you, the self-proclaimed King of Britain?
